If you’ve somehow not taken the plunge on From’s 10/10 masterpiece, now’s the time to accessorize with an Elden Ring. Speaking of things to die for/from, I’m also all about some deep discounts for Dragon Ball FighterZ, GTA V, The Crew Motorfest, and Gotham Knights. Experiencing the latter for 15 clams (and preferably a co-op bud) is worth making Bat-time for.

In retro news, I’m celebrating the 21st birthday of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. I can recall coming to this straight from a blast through Jedi Outcast and not being enthused with what met me… at all. An olden days setting with no Jedi I know? Meh. Turn-based combat? Blech. And then, I slowly, magically fell completely in love with everything about KOTOR—the world, my crew, our ship, and the overarching mystery of this elusive Jedi-turned-Sith known as Darth Revan. This was and remains a brilliant RPG and a borderline best-in-IP game. Google nothing about it. Just make a purchase and thank me later.
